Att komponera för en okonventionell instrumentsättning

Abstract [en]

This project explores the possibilities and challenges associated with writing for and performing with an unconventional, and for the composer new set of instruments. With the purpose of creating music out of intuitive, creative ideas rather than instrumentally based knowledge and habitual patterns I wrote and/or arranged six original songs for an ensemble consisting of lead vocals, accordion, trumpet/flugel horn, electric guitar, and a cellist and vocalist combined in one. We later performed the music at my bachelor’s recital which took place on the 3rd of April 2024 at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. 

The analysis of the musical result highlighted two compositional structures which in turn effected the co-playing in the group and divided the role-based responsibilities differently. The structure which was based around homophonic voices led to a common phrasing being the most important focus in comparison to the other which divided the ensemble into smaller groups with different functions where a joint time feel was of most importance.
